COMBINATION VENTILATED LAUNDRY STOVE AND BOILER.

To am whom it may] concern: i

1% it known that I, ABRAHAM SHAPIRO, a citizen of-the United States, residing at Minneapolis, in the county of Hennepin and State ofMinnesota, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Combination Ventilated Laundry Stoves andBoilers, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements-in combination ventilated laundry stoves and boilers, its object being to provide an improved construction of laundry stove constructed to be particularly efiieient in connection with a cooperating boiler as well as adapted for other uses. 7

To this end the invention consistsin the 7 construction, combination, and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and claimed. In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification,

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my improved stove;

Fig. 2 is a section on line 22 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a section on line 33 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a plan view of a supporting rim;

7 and Fig. 5 is a detail of a grate. Referring to the drawings, A represents the stove body preferably formed of sheet metal having a solid bottom formed with inlet air openings 2, the whole being supported upon legs 3. Supported in the upper open top of thebody of the stove and forming the upper end thereof is a rim portion 4 having at its lower end an inward flange 5 and at its upper end an inwardly eXtending flange 6. A removable flat rim 7 rests upon the flange 5 and is formed with a plurality of openings 8. An outlet pipe 9 provided in rim 4 leads from one side of the space above the rim 7. In this connection it will be noted that the openings provided in one side of the rim 7, on the side of the boiler adjacent the outlet 9, are much smaller than those on the opposite side, as depicted in Fig. 3, whereby the heat which starts to travel the shorter path, as the natural tendency is, will be dampened by reason of the small openings 8. Thus, the heat will be deflected to the longer path around the far side of the boiler and thereover, the larger openings 8 being so provided to increase the draft and thereby equalize the passage of the heat up the sides of the boiler. Extending inwardly from-the bottom of the side wall of the stove is a plurality of brackets Specification of Letters latent. Application filed. April 8, 1916. Serial No. 89,952.

10 adapted to support a central grate 11 and 7' also to form a support for a boiler 12. The upper end of the boiler stands when in position a short distancebelowthe top of the rim portion 4. The opening in rim 13 is substantially the same size as that of the boiler so that'the same cover 14 may be utilized for a closure both for the boiler and the rim 13 or stove." The rim 13 being arranged above the top of the boiler, it is apparent that the cover 14, when supportedby said rim, will be'spaced above the top of the boiler to permit of the heated gases passing over the boiler, as indicated by arrows in Fig. 2. Adapted to rest upon the flangefi is a second rim '13 adapted to form a support for a cover 14. The ends of the rim portion 4 of the stove are formed with recessed portions 15 to receive the handles 16 Positioned within the stove body below the grate 11 in a suitable manner is a burner 17 supported by the inlet fuel pipe 18 extending inwardly through the side of the stove body, as shown in Fig. 2. I preferably employ two of these burners as shown in Fig. 3 connected with a suitable supply pipe 18 separated there-. from by controlling valves 19. I also, as shown in Fig. 1, provide the stove with a side door 20 by means of which access will be secured to the interior of the stove body, as where it is desired to place flatirons, etc., upon the grate 11 when the boiler is not in position.

In operation, with the boiler in position and the cover 14 supported above the same, as shown in Fig. 2, the heat from the burner 17 will directly heat the bottom of the boiler and pass through the space between the boiler and side wall of the stove and through the openings 8 and over the top of the boiler outwardly through the outlet pipe 9. This gives the maximum heating efl'ect as well as carrying the steam from the boiler outwardly through the discharge pipe 9. When it is desired to remove the boiler the cover 14 and supporting rim 18 may be taken off and the boiler lifted out of the stove, the recess 15 allowing the hands being inserted to grasp the handle 16. Different sized rims 7 may be used to accommodate difi'erent sizes of boilers.

I claim:

1. In a device of the class described, a

stove body having an opened top formed insertible throughthe top opening into the stove body, means provided in the latterto supported'by the flange of the stove opening and extending above the'upper edge" of the boiler, said rim portion being provided with an 'open-ing above the boiler, and a closure for the opening of the rin portion supported by the latter in a plane above the boiler.

* 2. v In 1 a v device of. the class described, a

stove body, a top rimportion provided With wwtl t lea ing. i m one i e d n ternal shoulder formed below the outlet, a

,.boiler snpportedwithin the stove body, and

encircling boiler and supported on the internal shoulder of the top portion bel w h s deu let, the i ne edg f th 0 m ewe pa nt me e: b tain d e Second :rim' -abut ting the boiler and being :Pmrided -W h nenimg those P -Il g on- ,positethe side oat the-boiler adjacent the side ontlet being smaller than, thoseopenings opposite the other sideof the boiler tothereby darnpen theflowo-f heat on the first side of the boiler and effect more even distribution of the heat about the boiler. 7 support the boiler, a removable rim portion 7 3. In a device of the class described, a stove body adapted to receive a Wash boiler provided with the usual handles, a top rim portion on the body having end recesses, adapted to receive the handles of a- Wash boiler, and: internal shoulder provided below the recesses, and a rim seating on the shoulder adapted to encircle a Wash boiler below its handles and close the surrounding space ,,said second run being provrded with open ngs on its opposite sides and being solid-- at; its ends beneath the handles ot a received Wash boiler to prevent the handles being in direct contact with the heat.

In testimony whereof I atfix my signature in .presenceof two Witnesses.
